The death certificate I have for William Buell/Bull says he is the son of Jesse Bull and Margaret Pitman. I was assuming that the Joseph Pitman below was the grandfather of William Bull and John C. Bull. Refresh my memory please. NC means that Joseph was born in North Carolina correct? And SC means that his parents were born in South Carolina Correct? And the third would mean what? Can anyone help me put this census info into perspective?
